There are a number of valid service animal applications in addition to guide dogs that should not be eliminated in your consideration. There are animals trained to support those with other physical limitations, as well as medical conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy, etc. These service animals are as critical a component to their quality of life as a guide dog would be to the sight impaired. It is a good thing I am not in charge of this policy then. BTW, Cunard's QM2 has kennels aboard the ship up on the top deck forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How silly and ridiculous can you get? I cruise to escape my neighbour's PITA neurotic dog's barking! The very last thing 95% of us want.. is animals on board, judging by the numerous negative responses.

Velvetwater Posted April 3, 2019 #54 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) No, he is a nervous thing and would need a lot of attention. He is much happier with my in laws while we sail. It would be lovely to cuddle up to him at night and give him suitable buffet delights (chicken,eggs etc). I wouldn't be worrying about him weeing tbh as he has 'dog nappies/belly bands' which are a velcroed band that wraps around his middle with a ladies pad stuck inside. I know it sounds bizarre but we discovered them online after he kept doing secret wees when visiting other houses. I believe the QM2 has a kennel onboard.

Wonderful If CC had a PM I would send you one to ask what is the perception of Donald Trump by people in Australia. However,since there is not a PM and it has nothing to do with cruising I cannot ask you the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho_proudfoot Posted April 5, 2019 #67 Share Posted April 5, 2019 No no no and no. Apart from 'proper' support dogs (blind/profoundly deaf - not the fluffy "emotional" support dogs) l hate seeing dogs on cruises. If you're that attached to the pooch that you can't leave it for a week or two, then cruisin' ain't for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted April 7, 2019 #71 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Nope. If I want to do the same things on vacation that I do at home, I'd just stay home. Doggie is perfectly fine in a kennel. Yeah, they look awful when you leave them, but they're SO happy when you pick them up. Your pup will be fine kenneled. We tried "dog-sitting" once...did NOT work for my dog. A nice kennel (and I researched for months to find the right one) was the best option. Inside-outside runs, A/C and heat, they gave medications (if needed), place was nice and clean.....your dog will survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizmark'sMom Posted April 7, 2019 #74 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I get a housesitter and travel secure in the knowledge that pets and home are being looked after. Even if I kenneled the dogs, somebody would have to come by to check on the cats. It just makes sense to have somebody stay and handle everything.

iancal Posted April 7, 2019 #75 Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) The other side of the coin. Would we consider a cruise where the cruisers we permitted to bring their pets? Absolutely not. Not interested in fleas, constant barking, drooling animals in the food areas, bites, dog jumping on us, cats scratching, snakes slithering about, lost animals...the lot.
